Torcè on Postcard

"Torcè, one of Rome's pioneering gourmet gelato makers, operates four shops across the city. Their location on Viale Aventino is our personal favorite because you can take a post-gelato stroll through the nearby Giardino degli Aranci. There's no shortage of creativity when it comes to the flavors here. We're talking black sesame with salted caramel, ricotta with saffron, and their sweet and salty halva gelato that’s chalky in a good way. The salted chocolate is a favorite, with pink Himalayan salt amping up the rich cocoa flavor." - annie replogle, gillian mcguire

Very good ice-creams in Rome. For three tastes you will pay 4€, staff is speaking English. Ice-creams are stored in metal containers to preserve better, natural taste. Store is close to metro station Circo Massimo. My favorite taste is for sure 🍋. For hot weather I’m recommend to choose sorbets instead of milky ice-creams but all of them are tasty.

Very tasty, gelato. Currently, 2 scoops 3€, 3 scoops 4€, 4 scoops 5€, and so on up to 6 scoops. Really quaint and located in asemi- residential area. You know the place is auténtico because their gelato is covered and no display of it until the lid comes off to serve. It's worth the walk from the colosseum, about 25 minutes.

So so good!! The gelato and sorbe were incredible. And the staff were so friendly and understanding while we spent an age choosing flavours/using our very poor Italian. Highly recommend.

After eating ice cream here, your standard for ice cream will increase. The fact that it's gluten-free and lactose-free, combined with its unique flavors, takes it to another level. I would come to Rome just to eat this ice cream. 10/10!

I came here because I found out that I can find very particular flavors in this place. That’s 100% truth, the flavors are really original and particular. I took 3 scoops: Cacio e pepe (cheese with pepper) Celeri And black sesame The ice cream was really good, I’d like to come other flavors as well. Why did I take 1* off ? - I asked to try 1 flavor because I wasn’t sure I want it, it seemed a bit ordinary for me. But I’ve been told that it’s not possible to try anything. Without any explanation. Just “no, non possibile” In opinion it’s a bit weird, especially considering the fact that the flavors are really particular. And even if they would be ordinary, I think it’s normal to understand if you like the taste or not 🤷‍♀️

What else is there to say? The best chocolate flavor of the season for summer 2019 by Gambero Rosso magazine - I totally agree. Here with bell peppers cream(!!!) - awesome! And also royal saffron and black sesame cone - exceptional.

This is a tiny ice cream parlour (compared to the ones in the city centre) on the side of a wide boulevard with hardly any tourists walking here. However it is rightly famous for its original flavours. Service was average with staff who are not the most friendly. Gorgonzola flavour is worth trying because it is incredibly similar to the taste of the actual cheese, but I found it too strong to eat more than a couple of spoonfuls. On the other hand, the best flavour there is Celery - this was deliciously refreshing and imaginative. Rice flavour was also mildly interesting and had actual rice grains in it. Unfortunately they didn't have any chilli flavours on the day (Monday) we went and apparently only make that on certain days. They also have the traditional flavours but we didn't try those.

Simply amazing. The salted peanut was just stellar. Almost every flavor is without lactose and they have about a dozen without milk at all so everyone can enjoy something here. The combo of dark chocolate and almond lemon cream was fantastic. Make your way here and you won't be disappointed!
